Sponsors sought for graduation night party

OKEECHOBEE — The 2018 OHS Brahman Senior Class is set to graduate on Friday, May 25.

As in the last 29 graduations, the Okeechobee community will unite to offer our best wishes to our graduates by hosting the annual, Grad Nite Celebration. The celebration is open to all graduating seniors and their preapproved guests.

This highly anticipated event will continue to be filled with food, fun, games, prizes and, as always, is alcohol-free.

The tradition started 29 years ago, due to concerns about graduates drinking alcohol at parties on graduation night, and tragic alcohol-related traffic crashes connected with such celebrations.
Since the inception of this event, the Okeechobee community has been fortunate to never have endured an alcohol-related tragedy involving graduates on graduation night.

Everyone’s help is needed! A celebration such as Grad Night does not happen year after year without the support of the community, including people and individuals.

Whether it is volunteering your time, donating prizes and food, or writing a check, it is all necessary and appreciated.

At the party, the graduates will enjoy a night of bowling, skating, laser tag and a variety of games and activities, as well as plenty of great food and fellowship. Drawings for the big prizes are early the next morning, which encourages students to stay at the party.
